FANClES OF THE DAY.

Made Jerseys and Wraps.

Autumn Styles I'm Dress Goods, Tailor
Made Jerseys and Wraps.
"Never was dress more elaborate and
costly than at present, and yet never
has economy been more studied than it
is now"
These two facts, at first sight appa-
rently contradictory, are in reality
reconcilable, and the explanation may
be applied to more matters than that OF
the wardrobe merely.
This is an age of competition. Nation
completes with nation, class with class
and individuals with individuals. The
little maid who wheels a baby's car
riage over unwary feet on the pave
ments wears a dress of the same form
and outline as that worn by the "frst
lady in the land.
The indications are that jerseys will
be more largely worn than ever, and
many new styles are being shown.
Plain jerseys, with and without vest
fronts, it is thought, will be less popu.
lar than their braided or beaded rivals.
Boucle and tufted seem to have lost
their hold on the popular fancy, and
plain cloths in solid colors seem to be
superseding them.
Corduroy for stylish walking cos
tunes for autumn, in dark blue, dark
green, bronze and steel gray colors,
bids fair to prove quite fashionable.
The styles of these costumes will be
exceedingly simple from the fact of the
fabric being rather heavy and inflex-
ible. The basque will be similar to
that of u riding habit, and has very
high collar and tight sleeves. The
only trimming permissible will be the
use of silver buttons ornamented with
fantastic devices.
Cashmeres are also going to be
largely used in forming neat and dressy
gowns for young ladies. The new
goods of this description are very finely
finished, and can be found in all the
tints. the neutral shades and in bright
colors. They will be made up and
alone or combined with surah or Other
soft silks in either another tone of the
same hue as the cashmere or in a con
trasting color
Lace sacques and shawls are il
reouisition. Lace flounces are also il
high demand. Ribbon is the favorit,
Offset of these dresses. Cashmer,
shawls, with fringed ends, are still
fashionable; also the Algerian, stripe,
with tinsel and bourette. - y L

IILY'S VENTURE.
An Enterprise Which Proved En-
tirely Satisfactory.

Our heroine was somewhat inappro-
priately named, though she might be
classed in the rose-spotted Japan lily
order, by which may be inferred that
she was far from being pale ethereal
flower.
At the advanced age of eighteen she
was beginning to feel quite grown up;
and the fact perplexed her, particularly
as she failed to discover any means of
broadening her existence, which
seemed to grow narrower as she grew
older. Her education was limited to
the advantages the village school sup
piled. and she had read all the books
available, from Pilgrims Progress"
to the latest novel procurable, and was
still signing for new worlds to conquer.
Possessed of refined tastes, and the
usual youthful enthusiasm for every
thing pretty and interesting, she was
yet hedged in to narrow limits by the
very vexing question of ways and
means. Her mother was q widow. and
not over strong, whose limited income
Just enabled her to keep up the family
credit, as far as external appearance
went. And Miss Lily's pretty dresses
were in nowise the least illustration of
her mothers tasteful ingenuity.
But.mamma could render no assist
ance in devising some source of pecuni-
airy profit suitable for her daughter
while she remained under the home
roof, any thing that would take her
from her protection being an absurdity
not to be dreamed Of
MY daughter will have to wait until
her ship comes in, or till the fairy
prince arrives" mamma said. But she
heaved a secret sigh, nevertheless, and
added: Don't be thinking, dear, OF
all the impossible things you would

Saving Clover Seed.

Red clover seed is best saved from
the second crop, as the first seeds but
imperfectly, and has too great q
growth of straw. The first crop is
either mown early or pastured till the
middle or last of June. In some local
tiles an insect destroys the seed. Some
farmers raise enough for home use and
SOW it in the chaff, claiming that it is
more sure to grow, and thus saving
the expense of cleaning. But there are
now excellent machines for cleaning
clover seed. The crop is cut rather
high with a scythe or mower, and then
partially dry raked into small wind
rows, where it is allowed to lie and
blacken and become brittle, so that the
seed can be easily threshed out 1t is
then threshed directly from the field,
the straw having little OF no value az
forage. Farm and Home.

Some unfortunates in the railroad
quarter could attest to the same gem
crosby.
But, unconscious of the criticism Of
her motives, she enjoys her active life,
with its, increased opportunities, and
enters heartily into every thing, from
lawn teas to church fairs, while not
neglecting her own immediate duties,
and hosts of real true friends were
ready to express their regret at the
prospect of losing so universal a

at his finance, II shall be proud to

"By which you may infer" said
Lily, roguishly, "that endure great

The WORLDS OPINION,

Who needs the worlds opinion,
AS worldly judgment goess
IT'S based on little knowledge
And deals with outward shows;
1nfallible it fain would be,
And limit human destiny.
II stones the seers and prophets,
And hunts the thinkers down;
II crucities the saviors
And weaYes the thorny crown;
Through all the past unfolding years
We trace los trail OF blood and tears.
On every thing progressive
The worlds opinion frowns,
And it puTsues its victims
With prosecutions hounds;
And seldom is it true and just
Before their forms are turned to dust
But when great unfolding
Comes out TO challenge all,
The worldis loud with praises
From lips of great and small;
Its good opinion comes too late
To help the good or serve the great.
The true and good have ever
Been forced to battle hard
At each advancing footstep
Proclaimed by seer or bard;
The welcome plaudlt OF well done"
Comes only when the battles won.
Whoever adds to knowledge
Or widens human thought
Must brave the worlds opinion
As something to be fought
Must beat its opposition down
Till victory secures the crown.
Perhaps come day the worldlings
VIII learn the good to know,
When words will cease to flourish
AND useful things will grow,
When mon will recognize the new,
And cease to war on what is true.
Till then stand firm, We leaders
IN every righteous cause,
For surely you must conquer
Through Gods and Natures laws,
And haaten on the joyous day
Which gives TO wisdom perfect sway.
Who heeds the worlds opinion
And not his sense OF right,
WIN grovel long in darkness
By shutting out the light;
Ignoring true humanity,
His soul u stunted thing will be.
Why heed she worlds opinions
1t can not change a fact,
Nor set aside principle,
Nor modify an act;
1t is as empty, foul or fair,
As bubbles bursting into air.
No man of progress falterS
But seeks the light within,
Which comes from fields immortal
Where is no blight of sin;
Such never from their course will fly,
Though al the world cry: "Crucifyw
Mankind lack moral courage,
And fear to try the new,
In sin prefer to grovel
Than untried paths pursue;
And hence the better new they spurn,
Till SIMS false fruits TO ashes turn.
Men have no faith in progress;
They can not understand
Why institutions hoary
Should fall by its command;
They shut their eyes and will not see
THE light of truth that maketh free.
Who waits the worlds opinion,
And seeks for its applause,
Grows not beyond its stature,
Gives help to no new cause
Is ever deaf to all appeals,
A clog upon PROFESSIONS wheels.
Pursue your own convictions,
The way the tried have trod;
BE truthful, sincere, honest,
And leave the rest to God;
The true alone can battle sin,
The brave alone can hope to win.

FREIGHT DEPOT
or Rock Island Located and Work Soon
Commence on the Building.

And again old friend rumor comes to the
front with the announcement that the Rock
Island company has located definitely its
freight depot. As it is not adjudged capable
of manufacturing ''snaps" to any degree, the
real estate sharks don't look wise and handle
guarded tongue when questioned on the
subject All who were questioned on the
subject were willing that it should 60 to the
void without attempting to make big
grab.
A gentleman versed in Rock Island affairs
stated yesterday that the site for the freight
depot had been decided upon. He said it
was south of Division street, north OF Deca-
tur, east Of the Rock Island track and west OF
an extension of Rock Island avenue.
Another gentleman connected with the
company stated that plans for the building
had been completed and they were now in
the hands of contractors who were prepar-
ing bids.
The building will be one hundred and
seventy-five feet long and forty feet wide
with a track on each side ard one in the
middle. The building will be Of brick and
covered with slate roof. 1t will contain
the freight offices of the company at this
point.
The contract for the same will be awarded
in few days. The excavations and founda-
ton will be completed before the line is COM
pleted to the city.

MEETING OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

The Business Mems Protective ASS citation
which has been in process of organization fol
several weeks, is now. perfected, and the
board Of directors, consisting of a man repre-
senting each business held their first meeting
Monday evening.
The president, Mr.. F. B. 1hrelkeld, had
nominated board as follows:
s. w. Pearce, Otto Weiss, A. S. Munson,
W. L. Davis, John Braitsch, R. w. Caswell
John Busch, E. j. Foster, F. j. Swartz, F.

W. Enos, S. G. Hayman, Thomas Shard, F..
F. Lewis and ]. F. W. Meyer.
E. B. Rood was appointed secretary by
the president and confirmed by vote of the
board Of directors.
All blanks books and stationery necessary
was ordered purchased, and June 10th de-
cided upon as the time for the first report of
those unworthy of credit to be made
After some discussion it was decided not to
charter the society at present.
A committee, consisting of the secretary,
Messrs. Hoensche;dt and Foster was appoint
ed by the chair to secure suitable rooms for
the meeting or the board.
All present seemed hopeful as to the out
look of the association, and one of the promi-
nent members of the board of directors was
heard to say it would be worth 100000 to
the business men of Wichita in a single year.
A common sentiment is-why has such an
association not been organized long ago9

TOO QUICK FOR THEM.

Some of the parties interested in the Wich-
tia & Suburban motor line and the Wichita
g. Valley Center motor are bowling about
being headed off on Main street by the old
street car company. 1t will be remembered
that some weeks ago a route was passed by
the council taking in a section of North
Market street The people in that locality
made it very suggestive that an injunction
might be served if an attempt should be
made to build the line as the ordinance call
ed. In order to get out Of
that state Of affairs new
ordinance was submitted which
is now in big basket with a large number
of other referred ordinances of similar i'm
port The late addition ordinance askes for
a section Of Main street. The next morning
after the new effort was submitted to the
council, the Old company commenced extend
ing their line on North Main, and have mon
opolized the slice for which the new motor line
companies had watery mouths. Now it is a
question considerably discussed as to how
the company will get rid of the Market street

SHOT IN THE ARM.

Some days ago gentleman Of family and
who aspires to be of some prominence in the
city, was suddenly captured with desire to
go to Colorado for his health, and thereby
hangs tale. 1t is stated from reliable au-
thority that somehow another gentleman had
pointed his pop at him and it exploded put
ting the ball through his right arm just above
the elbow. No one claims that the affair
was accidental, but on the contrary was
meant to be a great deal worse. AS to the
cause of the warfare, aye, there's the rub.
An effort is being made to smother that fea
ture as well as the other.
The desire to 60 to Colorado after all is
thought to be only a talk. He may be in
some of the neighboring towns or not SO far
way nursing an unpleasant recollection.

Written for the Eagle.
MOTHER AND son.

"Wichita Beacon. the evening paper,
All about Capt. Whites death"
Not cried aloud with his wonted song,
But uttered low to the busy throng,
With voice half under breath.
As the newsboy sings his sad refrain,
The busy thoughts are stopped,
And the heart feels something akin to pain,
This sturdy soldier his once keen brain
For age from LIES list dropped.
We lift the paper tenderly
For the sake of the days and the years.
His soul snone through that Beaconlight,
Scorning to swerve from the path of right
For the sake of public cheers.
Who ne'er to the world bis virtues taught
Friend to the high and low;
A mind SO filled with its own deep thought,
The pleasures of life were rarely sought
And no man knew not his foe.
Iheard his aged mother moan,
William, come to me-"
Her pleading cry, ''alOne, alone"
Till God commands from heavens throne,
know thou eternity
Her eyes look far beyond the bier
Those hands outstretched to space,
The cry why hast Thou left me here.
The agony which knows no tear
Sealed that aged face
Perchance her thought hath bridged the
years
Which make two score and ten,
Her arms outstretched for baby fears
To wipe with her love her dewdrOp tears,
Life was rose tint there
But cloud hangs DER that home today
Her love is lain to rest,
And the heart is sick with its load of care,
For grief holds reverie with despair,
Death the leading quest

MADE CONNECTION.

The county commissioners held a meeting
yesterday to consider the question Of con-
de inning right Of way for the Kansas Mid
land from Mosley avenue to the Wichita &
Western.
1t will be remembered the ordinance now
on the council calendar calls for q right OF
way over Orme street from Mosley to the
W. & W. The mill of the council seemed to
grind slow on that particular grist, and be
ing anxious to have immediate connection
with the ". & W. the county commissioners
were called to decide upon right Of way.
The company was given right Of way near
Orme street on the north across to the W. &
W. None of the property owners seemed to
object The appraisnent will be made in a
few DAYS
